Voters, pay attention to candidates’ positions on guns

IndyStar

Kudos to Matthew Tully for his July 9 column identifying control of illegal guns as the first priority in reducing lethal violence in our city.

Every public official please take note! And every voter this fall, please question every candidate as to his or her commitment to support strong action to limit the sales and distribution of firearms. Protection of the right to life and safety in public settings surely takes precedence over any individual right to threaten both.
